12 best Christmas beauty and make-up sets - our review of the season's top gifts

Christmas is not only a good time to shop for your friends and relatives but also a moment to pamper yourself. With a plethora of limited edition beauty and make-up sets out there, STYLE’s editors Jacqueline Tsang and Vivian Chen picked the best ones they couldn’t keep their hands off.

Aromatherapy Associates

J: I use the brand on a regular basis because I enjoy taking baths. The lavender and pepper mint scent is very refreshing. The Pure Indulgence special Christmas set features body wash, body oil and a scented candle, HK$670

Amorepacific x Sulwhasoo x Lane Crawford

V: The set features 16 signature products from both Amorepacific and Sulwhasoo, including masks, cushion foundation, cleansing oil and herbal soap. It’s a K-beauty lover’s dream. I love the travel-size products because I can try different products before investing on a full-size product, HK$680

111Skin

J: I love the packaging of The Iconic Edit set which looks like a book. It’s also perfect for the day after your party night out as the set includes a Y Theorem Repair Serum, Nocturnal Eclipse Recovery Cream and Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel that can repair and rejuvenate your skin while you sleep, HK$500

Lancôme

V: This is really a have-it-all set that includes everything you need for make-up and beauty. The products are very versatile and practical. I also love the limited-edition brush set. It’s quite a steal for the beauty box set (worth HK$2,913). For any purchase over HK$500, add HK$680 and you can redeem the festive exclusive set.

Givenchy

J: Givenchy is one of the fashion brands which also have a strong beauty collection. My favourite item is the lipstick which comes in a nice leather-trimmed case. The gold make-up pouch also comes in handy for a night out, HK$1,115

Shu Uemura

V: Shu Uemura teams up with Takashi Murakami for a holiday collection that’s literally covered with Murakami’s iconic “FLOWER” art. The cosmic blossom eye and cheek palette helps create the perfect kawaii look for Christmas, HK$550

Clé de Peau

J: It’s our all-round favourite set because it includes all the brand’s iconic products such as the le crème and serums.

V: The art deco-inspired packaging is an exciting update of the brand’s usual minimalistic packaging.

YSL Beauté

The Palette Collector Sparkle Clash Edition is as glamorous as an evening clutch and filled with beauty goodies, including a universally flattering highlighter, HK$680

Fresh

Indulge yourself with the Crème Ancienne Ultimate Nourishment hamper filled with goodies to help lock in moisture and keep your face glowing during the dry winter months, HK$3,420

Burberry

Put your best face forward for your next big festive get-together by learning how to copy Sienna Miller or Lily James’ looks from Burberry’s hot new film, The Tale of Thomas Burberry, HK$210 - $1,065

Christian Louboutin

Celebrate Christmas with a special limited-edition holiday rouge gift set featuring Louboutin’s lip colours in three finishes connected together to form a necklace: silk satin, velvet matte and sheer voile, HK$2,400

Tom Ford

The brand’s iconic lipsticks are known for their strong pigmentation and lush palette. The lip colour set of four shades includes TF’s top-sellers such as the Indian Rose and Casablanca, HK$1,680
